  Group Study

  1. Have you made any new years resolutions? 

     Read 1 Samuel 1:10–18 and 1 Samuel 2:1–10.

  2. These two types of prayer - lament and rejoicing - often appear together in the Bible. Have you ever felt that you were between those prayers at any point in your life? Do you feel like that now?

  3. Eli initially rebuked Hannah, then blessed her. Perhaps he was responding first from a human perspective, then remembered he was a priest. Have you ever had a similar experience?

  4. Read Matthew 5:37.

     Jesus seems to imply that God won’t be moved by us making a vow. Why do you think Hannah’s vow was successful?

  5. In what ways do you think Hannah’s prayer of lament could be described as a prayer of hope?

  6. In chapter 2, Hannah’s prayer shifts from personal pain to declaring who God is.

     What does her prayer reveal about how she now sees God, power, and weakness?

  7. Judy spoke about “getting up” or “standing up” as a refusal to give up.
     What might “standing up” in faith look like in a difficult or seemingly impossible situation today?

  8. After Hannah prays, her circumstances have not yet changed—but she has.

     What changes in her, and what might that teach us about prayer?

  9. Take time to pray together.

     Bring to God any “humanly impossible” situations represented in the group—for yourselves, others, the church, or the city—and ask for renewed trust, perseverance, and hope as you move forwards in faith.
